This cheese is every bit as good as it sounds! Basiron is a creamy-tasting, gouda-style Dutch cheese jazzed up with pesto. Perfectly balanced and extremely addictive, this glitzy cheese "shows off" for Christmas, St. Patrick's Day, or almost any occasion. Its ingredients include pasteurized cow's milk, vegetarian rennet, and pesto (basil and garlic). It has 50% fat in dry matter and is aged approximately 5-6 weeks for a firm, yet youthful texture. The Veldhuyzen family in Holland, whose cheese making tradition dates back to the 1800s, makes a variety of innovative cheeses.

Although Basiron is a show stopper on the cheese board, its festive color is always ready to complement a tray of vegetables or equally colorful cheeses such as red-waxed gouda or edam. For a bright and flavorful dish with a twist of flavors, shred Basiron over gnocchi or pasta smothered in your favorite pasta sauce.

Love this cheese, and it serves so well at parties and every one loves it.

My Favorite Cheese

Use this in everything I cook with Cheese from Grilled Cheese sandwiches to stews, to just eating it plain. Love the taste and texture. Simply the best for my taste buds.

Green cheese and ham

It was the green color that caught my interest - and I like pesto. I find it is so cool to grate onto my salads and, yes, it is "Green eggs 'n Ham" when my breakfast eggs are sprinkled with this scrumptious pesto cheese by Basiron. Oh, don't forget it goes really well on pasta!!

Basiron Pisto ( Gouda with Pesto)

VERY good. It could do without all the green coloring, however.

Unusual taste.....very good.

I love pesto and I love cheese, this satisfys both my loves at the same time. A wonderful selection of cheese! I am having a great time tasting them. It will take a while to try them all, but I am in no hurry. (smile)

Basiron Pesto - Very Good

The gouda and the pesto go very well together. The cheese has a wonderful texture and the flavor is delightful.

Very rich but also very authentic pesto flavor

Wow! This cheese was good. Many times when flavors are added to or embedded in other items, the flavor is weak or off-putting. Not at all true with this cheese. Strong and true pesto taste. The cheese itself is rich and would be a very good cheese even without the additional pesto taste. If you dont like pesto, don't buy this cheese. If you like pesto and gouda, this is a must sample item.

Fabulous!

If you like pesto you will love this cheese! It is super flavorful and can be used in so many ways to enjoy easy basil flavor. Use in egg dish, fancy grill cheese, pasta or with tomatoes. Seemed strong at first but once you go in for seconds you will be hooked.
